im so tired

i dont do anything anymore

no energy

My name is Bilal. I am a 35-year-old father of four children 👨‍👧‍👦 from Gaza. I lived a simple life with my family. I worked hard every day to provide my children with a decent life and a better future.

But the war took everything from us… 💔

In a sudden bombing, my home was destroyed, and the place that once brought my family together became nothing but ruins. I lost several members of my family, and I, my wife, and my daughter were injured, leaving us with deep physical and emotional suffering.

After losing my home, my job, and my only source of income, I became unable to work because of my injuries. My responsibilities became greater than my ability to provide. Today, I live with my children in a small, worn-out tent ⛺ that does not protect us from the heat of the sun ☀️, the cold of winter ❄️, insects 🐜, or rats 🐭 that have become part of our daily struggle.

Even the little food we manage to get 🍞 does not remain safe for us, as the rats eat it, and my children cannot eat it afterward. We are living in extremely difficult conditions, trying only to survive through fear and hardship 💔.

The tent where we live is located near the yellow line, and we have nowhere else to go or a safe place to shelter. It breaks my heart to see my children suffering while I cannot provide what they need 😢.

I ask kind-hearted people ❤️ to stand with me and help us provide medical treatment for my wife and daughter 🏥, secure the basic needs for my children, and help us overcome these unbearable circumstances after losing everything.

Please donate whatever you can to help us and stand by us during this difficult time 🙏. Your support can give my family new hope and help my children have a safer and more dignified life 🤍.

Please share our story with anyone who may be able to help 🤲.

Thank you to everyone who extends a helping hand and feels our pain ❤️.

We used to live a simple, safe life, trying to provide our children with a decent life despite all the hardships.

Our home was our only safe haven, the place that brought us together and protected us from life's harshness.

But the war changed everything… In moments, we lost our entire home, and our lives were transformed into fear, displacement, and daily suffering.

We escaped the bombardment with no clothes, no food, nothing to take with us except our lives and our children.

Even more difficult is that my brother Mahmoud has a mental disability and needs medication and constant care.

Since the beginning of the war, obtaining treatment has become extremely difficult.

Every day I fear his condition will worsen due to the lack of medication and the harsh conditions we are living in.

My children now live without a home and without stability.

They go to sleep in fear, asking me when we will return to our normal lives.

I have no answer but patience and prayer. I'm not asking for the impossible.

All I wish for is to be able to secure treatment for my brother,

food and shelter for my family,

and to restore to my children the sense of security they've lost.

Any help, no matter how small, can make a huge difference in our lives,

and could be the reason for easing the suffering of a family that has lost everything because of the war.

May God reward you, and please remember us in your prayers.✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #710 )✅️

Yeah, we need to call out ASAN for this, unfortunately.

ASAN currently has campaigns that are trying to promote the idea that we should get rid of things like guardianship and GPS tracking bands, even for people who actually need them.

It's sad to see ASAN fumble this kind of thing, since they were meant to be the opposite of Autism Speaks. But while AS has issues with neurotypical people speaking over autistic people, ASAN has an issue with lower support needs people speaking over higher support needs people.

While guardianship can certainly be a problem, the answer is not to get rid of guardianship entirely. It would be to change the laws to minimize the risk of abuse.

What ASAN aims to do is to end guardianship entirely and replace it with "supported decision-making agreements." Which not only would not solve the issue that ASAN is trying to solve, but actively make things WORSE for people who truly need guardianship.

ASAN claims that people will be able to just simply enter an agreement with their state government on whether or not they need assistance. This is purely wishful thinking. This ignores several issues facing how the government as a whole views and treats disabled people.

Your government could still put you under a Supported Decision-Making Agreement against your will by claiming you're not mentally fit enough disagree on your own terms.

Supported Decision-Making Agreements could be put under the same conditions and restrictions as government services such as disability benefits. You could be scrutinized and denied an agreement because you're deemed to be "not disabled enough."

You can still be persuaded or forced by your abuser to enter a Supported Decision-Making Agreement with them, and your abuser can still make you unable to terminate the agreement.

Someone who is non-verbal or has an intellectual disability that makes them unable to understand the process of initiating a Supported Decision-Making Agreement will be unable to get one, since many government processes require a verbal confirmation from the person for security reasons, and someone cannot set up a Supported Decision-Making Agreement on behalf of the person. This means a non-verbal person or an intellectually disabled person with high support needs will be unable to make important medical arrangements or legal decisions.

The above also is true for someone who is physically unable to sign their agreement contract or physically unable to leave their home or even their bed.

People who have, as ASAN puts it, "mental health disabilities, dementia, and other disabilities that change how they think" (paraphrasing) can refuse a Supported Decision-Making Agreement believing that they don't need one, even though they need to live with someone who can keep them grounded in reality, keep them from canceling perscriptions or doctors appointments they need, keep them from hurting themselves or others. If they end up in a mental health crisis, because they don't have a guardian, they could end up in a psychiatric facility against their will, in prison, or killed if someone calls the police on them.

As it stands ASAN has not addressed these issues with theirSupported Decision-Making Agreement plan and how they intend to make to accessible to non-verbal people and intellectually and physically disabled people with high support needs, or to prevent someone who is not of sound mind from denying the agreement they need.

This video also highlights how important it is for people who need guardianship to have guardianship, and the restrictions that not having a guardianship can cause, and what can happen to people who need a guardianship when they don't have one.

I urge you, especially with Disability Pride Month on the horizon, to email ASAN and call them out for not considering higher support needs people and speaking on their behalf.

He is the executive chair of Amentum, a company that provides engineering and technology to the USA’s army and nuclear programs. They operate the most test and training ranges of any contractor if their site is to be believed.

It appears they run the East Montana concentration camp, the largest in the USA. While much of the abuse, including sexual and physical abuse, occurred under the camp’s previous contractor, Acquisition Logistics, the ACLU has confirmed Amentum was WORKING AS SUBCONTRACTORS at the East Montana camp during this time. Amentum's current role as sole contractor from March onwards proves no less deadly, with 2 overdoses with the intent to commit suicide from inhumane conditions. Representative Escobar confirmed nothing has changed since Amentum’s takeover. Lawyers representing prisoners report being unable to reach their clients.

The following conditions are BY DESIGN, as "Guards tell people detained at Camp East Montana who complain about conditions that if they do not like the conditions, they should self-deport." Civil Detention Centers are not supposed to be punitive. This is only a civil detention center on paper. It is a concentration camp.

The ACLU lists: I already linked this but I'm doing it again bc if you read one source, it should be this one.

Medical neglect, including for people with pregnancies, diabetes, cancer, and HIV.

Severe beatings. One man was beaten to death for requesting his asthma medication.

solitary confinement

unclean water

Tuberculosis and Measles outbreaks

Limited to no sunlight

no or limited hygiene products

rotten food, not enough food, no special diets for medical conditions

SEXUAL ASSAULT

No ventilation in a DESERT leading to lung damage

Not enough toilets, overflow often, whole tent smells of urine and feces

No privacy to use said toilet

Threats and beatings for those that refuse to sign deportation papers, sometimes to places they are NOT FROM

No activities, punished for attempting to make art from recycled items like cracker boxes, can only practice own religion at guards' discretion

no dental care. This is likely universal across US concentration camps. Note Emmanuel Damas, the Haitian immigrant that died from a dental infection due to lack of care

Unable to receive legal representation if not already represented

LOCATED ON FORMER JAPANESE DETENTION CAMP BECAUSE TIME IS A FUCKING CIRCLE

Taylor Swift's guest is directly responsible for these. This is the LARGEST CONCENTRATION CAMP IN THE US, made to hold 5000 people. He's not just any ICE contractor he is the biggest and baddest. At least this will get people talking about just HOW bad this camp is.

my best friend omu ( @omu-lette , who I'm posting for bc they aren't super active for lack of energy) is currently trapped living with abusive and neglectful family right now after finishing their graduating year of art college & is insecurely housed !!! the college has withheld accommodation making xem more disabled & they are often starved , forced to raise their parents baby , having medical care/access revoked , and harassed . right now xe have a tooth rotting that NEEDS treatment asap & is causing a sinus infection !! this is all on top of bigotry from family and worsening disability. they have no energy for self care or school/work after being forced to do so much labour . omu needs help being able to get food , saving up to escape , and paying for medical care that would dramatically improve their ability to help themself and enter the job market on a good footing for success . please help my bff by reblogging & donating even 1$ !!! (don't just like) and be a part of helping the black queer community 💗
